Paris, 1937. Andras Levi, an architecture student, has arrived from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter he has promised to deliver to Clara Morgenstern, a young widow living in the city. When Andras meets Clara he is drawn deeply into her extraordinary and secret life, just as Europe’s unfolding tragedy sends them both into a state of terrifying uncertainty.From a remote Hungarian village to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the despair of a Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in forced labor camps and beyond, The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a marriage tested by disaster and of a family threatened with annihilation, bound by love and history.

Dives into the private world of childhood and immerses us in its fears and longings. The joyous friendships and the bitter sibling battles, the parents that row and the boys that won't dance with you.
